Theresa May will use her first appearance as British prime minister at a United Nations General Assembly meeting starting Monday to urge fellow leaders to do more to control mass migration, which she’ll argue hurts both refugees and the countries they enter.

May will say the migrants should be encouraged to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach.

Meanwhile the EU’s open internal borders have allowed large population flows, with many Eastern Europeans traveling to richer countries in search of a better life. It was partly resentment at this that led Britain to vote to leave the EU in June. May will call for a better distinction between these two groups.

“This is an urgent matter — more people are displaced than at any point in modern history and it is vital that we provide ongoing support for those people most in need of protection,” May said in a statement released by her office. “While we must continue our efforts to end conflict, stop persecution and the abuse of human rights, I believe we also need a new, more effective global approach to manage migration.”

Simple Question

What the hell can the UN do?

The answer of course is nothing. And asking a political body that cannot possibly do anything useful to solve a problem is like hoping a wish-granting magic genie will pop out of the bottle.

Some readers may be thinking “stop criticizing and offer a solution”. Fair enough.

Instead of seeking UN action, how about a little common sense?

11. If you do not follow the laws and decency of a country, said country deports you to your origin.

It fails to have common sense to the demographic worldwide as immigrants are considered to be the solution, liberals do think in economic terms while ethnicity is lurking beneath the surface. As usual women do play a central role in that ‘debate’ in perspective of men.
